Game of Thrones Season Four (TV Show Only-- no book spoilers, please!) (Page 2)

Went back and watched it slowly... I saw where someone takes something off someone's neck... wait... are we allowed to talk about what happened on the show? I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say. 

Anyway's... I watched where something was removed from someone's neck, but I didn't see how it got into the cup to kill Joffery! 

I think if it's on the show you can talk about it.

Last night... after the first two episodes, this one was filler for the most part.  Except for Sansa got on the boat.....

Yes... but I think what I'm bringing up, might be because of what I know from the book. 

they didn't have the bedding ceremony so the marriage wasn't really official. Therefore it passed to the next baratheon heir.

Well, my theory that the embarrassed knight did it may have fallen short.  OR, he could have done it for Littlefinger as a pawn.

I think it's very curious how he just happened to have all this escape/kidnapping thing figured out ahead of time.

I really wouldn't put it past Tywin, to be honest.  He never seemed to like Joffrey.  He is ruthless and would do anything for money/power and is now grooming the next in line.  A Tywin and Little finger conspiracy?  Interesting.

I'm sure it's the point - but I like the Hound a lot now.  I never disliked him.  He always seemed like the "cool" bad guy.  He's so.... WRONG... but I keep wanting to watch his story and he makes me laugh all the time.  Robbing the old guy and his daughter seemed shady, but can't stop finding him interesting to follow.

She holds the title. Ms. Hottest person in the show at the moment.  She will marry Tommen and become queen as alluded to by her grandmother.

Except for the whole smile and talk out of the one side of her mouth thing.  Man, that's annoying.

I noticed the first in episode 1 or 2 of this season and asked "who is that guy" and had to piece it together and make that conclusion.  I noticed Tommen was different but assumed it was age related - but age didn't impact anyone else that much!  (However, don't get me started how old Bran looks now since season 1).

Too bad they are replacing the mountain - but he didn't have that big of a role, so it may got over smooth enough.  They got some guy that was in Banshee to play a wildling leader.  He is a tough looking dude.  He may have made his appearance already (the guy eating the human leg over the fire pit?) but I didn't recognized him from the other show.

There was another "bedding ceremony" in the chapel that Joffrey was sort of part of.

That was an incredible uncomfortable scene!

Admittedly, I had been drinking wine by the pool for a few hours before I watched last night's episode, but did ANYTHING happen? I felt like nothing really happened. I'm also confused about the baby scene. Honestly the story line with Gilly and her baby isn't following the book anymore, so I don't know what is going on there. 

It's been so long since I read the books, I've no idea what was in there or not, or when anything happened.   Just kinda along for the ride at this point

As to last night, again a lot of filler it seems, although they made more clear who did (or ordered) the Joffrey deed

One of my coworkers is reading the books and he also thought it was not in there but he wasn't 100%

I thought last night was a little slow but the ending with the white walkers was interesting.

Kotaku has a bunch of gifs that explain how it happened:

I'm not sure what I am expecting, but to me, the first few episodes seem a little sluggish.  Other than the wedding and a tidbit of a teaser here or there (like the "making" of the white walker)...  I'm waiting for it to really get going.  Sort of setting a lot of stuff up I suppose?  Maybe all the seasons went at this pace, but I keep waiting for it to take off....

I GUESS they told us who killed Joffry.  But honestly, I'm skeptical.  More strongly eluded to.  Under the old lady's command (and maybe hired littlefinger's help) had the night give Sansa a cheap necklace with one jewel made out of poison.  The stone got dropped into the wine...  I'm still not sure how it got from necklace to wine.  There is someone else involved.

I like watching Jamie's change.  From an awful guy in season one, to someone I like.  Protecting Sansa and the relationship with Tyrion.  Maybe renewing his knights honor and following through on his oaths...

I went back and watched the episode and that scene over a few times, but they never show the jewel going from the grandmother's hand into the cup. Obviously it had to happen after it fell on the ground and Sansa picked it up and it was refilled. I talked about it with my coworkers and the speculation is that when Margery puts the cup on the table behind her, while he is eating (cutting?) the pie, that is when the grandmother put the jewel into the cup. BUT they never SHOW it happening. 

I think I may go back to the books.  I can't wait for HBO to tell me what's happening!  I'll just go find out for myself (I'll keep the spoilers to myself, though).

Yes, he is.
